Codey Lee James

I'm excited to debut the official lyric video for Watercolors (On the Way), the titular track to my latest album, Watercolors.

This song explores what it means to be an artist at a time when AI threatens to steal our art from us. It also dives into what it means to be human during a time when those in power threaten to steal our humanity from us.

I'm extremely proud of this track and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

If you haven't peeped the album yet, the link is on my profile.
